BANGLADESH FLOODS EMERGENCY APPEAL

The worst flooding seen in over a decade has decimated Sylhet and other surrounding areas in Bangladesh. The heavy floods have devastated towns and villages leaving millions stranded, crops destroyed, homes under water and roads damaged. Millions affected, the number of deaths continuing to rise. A country in need.

“The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When any part suffers, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

Human Appeal are working with our partners and teams on the ground to assess how best to support families and villages, not only in the immediate aftermath, but going forwards too. Help us to restore vital access to water, food and medication to those affected by the devastating floods.

In a statement, the government issued a warning that water in all major rivers, roughly 130 across the country, is only continuing to rise. A nation of 160 million people, Bangladesh is low-lying and faces threats of climate-change-related natural disasters such as floods and cyclones. According to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, about 17 percent of people in Bangladesh would need to be relocated over the next decade or so if global warming persists at the present rate.
